Sugar and Ice Has Now Turned Into The Pizza Place

December 8, 2009 at 8:25 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

We've always loved the old-timey malt shop and cafe Sugar and Ice at Wynn Las Vegas, mostly because of its waterfall views and the free WiFi but the ice cream and sweets weren't so bad either!

That's why it's a good thing that although the shop has changed names to the generic Pizza Place, the free WiFi has remained. The menu hasn't changed that much either. There is still gelato on-hand, as well as sandwiches (which are more of the Italian sub variety) and salads but as the name implies, pizza pies are now yours to be had. Cheese slices start at $4.25, 12" pies at $12.50 and 22" pies at $27.50.

The Pizza Place is open Sunday through Thursday from 9am to 11pm and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Joe Pesci's Pizza Shops Coming Soon to Las Vegas

May 11, 2009 at 1:39 PM | by Erika Pope | 1 Comment

First we spotted Danny DeVito’s limoncello at the Epicurean Affair (and again at Friday’s Uncork’d Grand Tasting), and now we hear another diminutive Italian actor is launching a consumable brand. Joe Pesci, known among other things for his role playing mobster Nicky Santoro in the movie "Casino," will be opening up a string of pizza joints called Pesci’s Pizza.

His business partner in this new venture? None other than one Sig Rogich, a Vegas kingmaker of sorts and former campaign adviser to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. We’re not making that up. Anyway, his first outpost is scheduled to open in Las Vegas this summer. There's no word on exactly where the pizza parlor will first open but we're thinking some place in the Palazzo, where "Jersey Boys" is currently playing, might be a good start. After all, a young Joe Pesci makes an appearance and Pesci himself is a producer.
